I have to ask, though, how does the whole thing sound? I mean, yes it kicks butt that you have 2 HD 2900s, but if the whole thing sounds like a leaf blower what's the point :P.
Nice hue for the red, and I like the cable management; they look accessible.
Come on Wiz, who cares if it's loud, shit bro put on some head phones and enjoy your dual GPUs. What are you afraid of, waking the girlfriend at 3am?
Besides, nothing's going to be louder than you screaming "verfluchter Sohn des Gottes eines Weibchenhahnes saugendes n00b" when you get hit with a headshot in CounterStrike or something :)
8/10 need some cable management and the crossfire is awesome but if u dont know the second pci-express is operating im 4x lane and not in 8x or 16x. maybe u will change u mobo for a x38 chipset but u could aswer me and the cross fire memory is beatufill too i love it
my future project is a GA-x38-DQ6 a crossfire with a HD2900XT 1GB DDR4 and 4GB OCZ platinum DDR2 1066MHz and if u wana look my old system i will be glad
8 - very clean and nice look to it
+1.5 - ATI inspired, awesome!
=9.5/10
Nice rig, man - very clean look to it and "professional," although I'm not a big fan of red lighting, I can't fault you on that - but it works and looks great with the ATI theme!

Cool, thanks a lot :) Its always nice to meet a fellow ATi fan :)
8/10 nice job!!!
maybe some more wire management?? watch out for hiper psu's they use the fujigistu (whatever the hell it is) caps. looks good though :)
Can you mount the Hdd's "back to front" with your case??? It makes a huge difference to the overall cleanliness if you can because you can hide all the wiring and connectors away..
Love the crossfire setup too... it makes me miss my old setup.... :sheds a little tear:

7/10 from me.. :)
Thats a good idea m8.....I never thought of that....I may try it l8r m8 ;)
Cold Storma 10 man! love the set up and envy you on the power color 3870's!! I was 5 mins away from my own and got side tracked...
Thanks m8, but........I do need to update the pics a bit because Im not running dual 3870's anymore. I sold both for full retail value and got a single G92 8800GTS 512mb ;)
I love the 3870 and would highly recommend it. But I was getting fed up waiting for the patch/drivers to sort out the dual card problem with Crysis, so I cut my losses and went for 1 really good card :)

No problem man. Hey, if you wanted to go with a better single card by all means do! it still looks like a kick a$$ build and stand by my numbers.

Thanx m8 :) Ive also upgraded the RAM to 2x 2GB of OCZ Reaper (I will get some better pics soon)

The noise isnt an issue, as its pretty quiet :) I leave the system on overnight (in my bedroom) and it doesnt disturb me one bit :)

Clean up the wiring, and it'll be 7/10.
Really nice setup but the PSU is not up to it.....why go cheap when you could have put in a Enermax or Be Quiet .........???
